Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor
The ETB throttle position sensor has 2 signal circuits in the sensor for redundancy. The redundant ETB throttle position signals are required for
increased monitoring. The first ETB throttle position sensor signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second
signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The 2 ETB throttle position sensor signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. There is 1 reference voltage circuit and 1 signal return circuit for the sensor. The reference voltage circuit and the
signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. For additional information, refer to
Torque Based Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) See: Electronic Throttle Control Module/Description and Operation.
